openssh-client pull libedit2 for /usr/bin/sftp which is not in the udeb,
so libedit2 is not used in D-I.

The udeb is 15kB on kfreebsd-i386. libbsd0 is taking more and more
importance in the distribution in order to avoid code duplication (a lot
of software originates from *BSD and such have a compat layer for BSD
specific functions), which is encouraged by the security team.

Sooner or later we will have some more udeb packages depending on
libbsd0-udeb (even on Linux), so it may be worth to do the first step
now.
